ABSTRACT
The study examined emotional intelligence as correlate of academic performance among junior secondary school students in Katsina metropolis. A sample of 384 students was drawn from a population of (8757) junior secondary schools students in the metropolis. Two instruments were used in obtaining the data for the study; an adopted version of Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (EIQ) designed by Kolo (2006) and JSS II results in English and Mathematics which was used to measure academic performance of students. Three hypotheses were tested and results obtained showed that emotional intelligence was related to academic performance for both males and females junior secondary school students in Katsina metropolis. Based on these findings therefore, it is recommended that effort should be made towards training in the development and sustenance of positive motivation. Conclusively, it is pertinent to emphasize on developing self-awareness among learners so as to produce learners who are emotionally stable, capable of controlling their moods, resilient to stress, rational in their thinking, flexible in their approach, confident in themselves, and with positive attitude towards themselves and their abilities.
